ARTIST’S STATEMENT: My idea in my Painting is Based on the sientific article of chemistry reaserch that I wrote My self. My Idea to save corals is to use nanotechnology to produce biodegradable nanocomposites that are destroyed after removing their sea pollutants. Nanocomposites are made from PVP, Tio2, and from recycling of fish, all of wich are cheap for production and dont have danger to the sea. I show all theis in my Painting that how we can save corals with chemistry science.
